SCSI and SAN

[Sharad Chandra]

That's very right, but it needs a manual setup. Whereas I need to work on 
storage disks attached to system, to accomplish that i have to write a script 
and know in itself whether it is attached to SAN or not. I know mainly there 
are "sysctl kern.disks" storage attached to system, nothing else.

Thanks
